Tho above is tho report of the 3d exhibition of tho 1'eoplcs Independent fair, at Fredencktown. Knox County, Ohio. Our Fair w;is one of more than or dinary interest. We never have hud the pleasure of seeing so largo a concourso ol ladies anil gentleman to'cthor on any similar occasion. Universal guod feeling prevailed, all wcro happy, shaking bands and smiling a hearty welcomo to tho spot once more, which for grandeur of exhibition never bus been counled in our country. It is now a conceded fact that this great Fair, can-I not he surpassed in Central Ohio, fur splendor (,f I scenery, quality of animals, in perfection of nil nrti-j elcs of Mechanism nnd Art, Wo would snv to (un friends, just call on our follow townsmen, Wm. Gibson, It. Dowlcr & Co., if yon want to purchaso any kind of a buggy, from one of low price, to ono that Queen Victoria never ought to be honored by silting her litttlc consequential atom in; and you need not go from our town for harness, call on our young friend L. Rigby, whoso job on exhibition evinced to every ono that lie is a master workman, nnd canno bo frightened off by any of your ordinary jobs. Did yon see those Potatoes, Pumpkins, Squashes, ic, and how lung did you think sumo of thoso polu-tocs wcro ? Well wo did not mensuro any of them, but liko a Yankee, wo will ask, did you over sco a man's noso half so largo ? We guess not. Our Needle Work. Quilts. Shell, and Wax Work, wero well represented. Truly our ladies did porfonu their part well in ovcry department. It has boon proposed to form n company for the purpose of importing somo catllo, who will join? Ve want twelve men, good and true. Our next Fair.no dout, will bo highly interesling. Wo hope to see more lady ridors next year. Como up Indies: bring on your cboico charges i wo wish you could all beat, will you try ? To i rii Culture A recent number of tho Seneca County (0) Advertiser in speaking upon tho Scienco of Terra Culture as discovered by Trof. Com-sT0CK,says:It is a system of apricuHuro based upon botanical discoveries. This system has produced astonishing results indeed it has surpri sed all who have adopted it, and it bids fair to work a wonderful and beneficial revolution in agricultural matters. It is said to be less expensive, less laborious and more profitable than any known method. Dr. C. A. C. licckwith, Esq., of Uellevue, by approaching Terra-culture produced on 50 acres 50 bushels of Wheat to the acre. Doct. V. B. Dimick, by Terra-culture produced 3 1 bushels of Potatoes from 4 potatoes, yielding from 1,000 to 2,000 bushels to tho acre, lie grew onions this year from tho seed, to 10 inches in circumference, about 1 CCD bushels to the aero. Cabbago nearly all head, and some of them as large as a half a bushel.

Some ten yoars sinco an old Dutchman purchased in the vicinity of Brooklyn a snug little farm for nine thousand dollars. Recently a lot of land speculators called upon him to buy him out. On asking his price, he said he would take sixty thousand dollars. "And how much remain on bond and mortgage?"'Xino thousand dollars." "And why not more," interrogated tho would-be purchasers.

Tho ship Sultana, from New York, which has arrived hero, reports passing, on tho 22d ult, off the coast of North Carolina, the corpses of four men and a piece of the wreck, supposed to havo belonged to the ill-fated ten trul America. When the law requiri lg every person to pay something for tho support of religion was ro ponied in Virginia many years since, an infidel statesman cxultingly said, "The deathblow is given to Christianity. In fifty yoars from this time, there will not be a Bible in the United States," How wonderfully ditTerent has been the result. 05" It is stated by physicians, nd those who have the best means of knowing, that there had been many more deaths from delirium tremens in Cincinnati, tho past year, than during any similar period perhaps within their recollection. The increase of mortality is attributed to the largor manufacture than formerly of poisionous liquors. OCT The Rocklord (III.) Register puts in claim for Winnebago ts the banner wheat growing county in that State. One township alone raises 150,000 bushcl. It is estimated that 60,000 acres of wheat were put in, in that county, produced at the least calculation1,600,-000.

We quote from the local column of tho Mis souri Democrat, of Friday : Tub Earthquake Suvkhk Shocks Gkeat Consternation Humous, Iscidknts, ifec. On the niornini of yesterday, at twenty minutes past four o'clock, nearly the whole population of this city and region were startled from repose by the roar and commotion of a violent earthquake. The first premoni tion is said to have been given uy a sugni concussion about midnight. But at the time stated, those who wero awnko heard a low and distant ruiublini: which failed toarouso atten tion till it rapidly increased to tho volume of tho sound of lieavy trains ol cars uiunuenng through every street of tho city. Some liken tho noiso to a protractod reverberating explosion, otheis to tho roar of a whirlwind, others to the mere passing of market wagons but all agree that it was tremendous. When at its heieht the buildings beiran to rock oppall- infflv. 1 liousands sprang irom incir ueus in larin. and lushed intotlio streets. Ihe nor thcrn skr was clear, but from tho southward a heavy mist was swiftly advancing, and in a moment nearly obscured the street lamps. In many instances tho lamps were in an instant unaccountably extinguished. Tho violent shock lasted fall three-fourths or a minute, and was instantly succoeded by a second roar and attendant shock or less severity. Many describe both as one, and aver that tho heavy shock lasted full three minutes. In about Ave minutes afterward the noise and concussion were repeated with comparative mildness, but very porccptibly. We conversed with many on the occurrence, and their statements, of course various, attest and corroborato the above. A citizen living on Gratiot and Fourth streets, in a heavily built house, whose walls aro of eighteen inches, and was sleeping on the first floor, describes the shock as excessively violent, and the motion as a horizontal vibration from east to west. A mirmr hanging on north and south wall, swayed from and towards the wall, through an aro of sevoral inches. He ran Into the street, expecting the fall, if not or A Ol 4P tk CO Ut - H o a ft! a oani3 j uouiRg enXnj -g ajnojj O o (4 jomAvniijnjt PllXq -H uiM m y Jfllins noi!K nsui,.itt -a-n )jodiiiA',(j ntor -buois -j pwjiv bijjou -jj istunr lirtuqsjrji iiiiuof lissiinji'jusippv 'pimpne qoon - siiic n Ol H H f 2 I aIIV 'O'O OiTi - lJ. -!

An intelligent gentleman, living on Center, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, states that the heavy rumbling, as if by a host of coal wagons, proceeded from the southward that things shook from north to south, and with an appalling violence, that then a dense mist appeared, and in ten minutes occurred another shock, tho accompanying noiso bearing more from tho eastward. A well known physician in his vicinity was atfrightcd at hearing the brick walls of his residence positively cracking and snapping around him. We aro apprised that a slight shock was felt on Monday, the court house being perceptibly jarred, though no vehicle was at the time passing. Another gentleman, living within sixty feet or tho Pacific mills, avers that during the noise just preceding the shock, tho loud din usually made by the engine and stone at the mills, could no longer bo heard. Tho course or the noiso seemed to him from tho south-westward. Immediately, his door nnd windows wcro so violently shaken that he at first imagined that burglars wero entering an il-lusion also experienced by many others. At tho city ball, which is deemed a frail structure, the officers ran out of the police office, fearing that it would fall. Tho watchman at tho Mechanics' Hank, on Chestnut street, fled from beneath its walls, which he found vibrating fearfully. A member ot the night police, on Sixteenth and O'Fallon streets, was about returning home, when he was startled by tho sound as of a heavy and prolonged explosion, and in-S'antly f.-lt himself being heaved by the ground and nca ly trippod from his feet. Tho con-cuss'on appeared to him to proceed from the eastward, and as if it began on the Illinois shore, and then ciossing the river passed oil' to tho northward, re vei berating like a deafening thunder clap. A watchman on Franklin avenue and Sixteenth street states that with the noise he felt the ground undulate with a motion so long and heavy as caused him to stagger several feet before recovering his balance. The spring boards in the lumber yards near were at once in noisy motion, and so continued for some minutes after the last shock. Immediately the houses were lighted and people were rushing into the street.

SHOCK came n-om ino souinern part, which is highlv probable, Humors wero abundant all over the city yesterday, that Memphis and New Orleans had been destroyed by tlieeaitliqnnke. Mr. Osborne, of the telegraph ollice, informs us that no reports wero received up to 9 o'clock last evening, over the lino in connection with Memphis. This is an unusual thin''. and perhaps led to tho circulation of tho story rifo upon our streets. The prevailing opinion seems to bo that the district in and around Xcvv Madrid, in this Stato, has been the scene or another tcrriblo disaster. The leading article or the Democrat is about " the earthquake." Wcquolo from it : urcr tin aliommg regions of Illinois, and thoso portions or the state lying contiguous to ot. 1..0UIS, it is certain that the commotion was not less severe than it was in this city. In Illinois it was accompanied bv a tempest. ous sky and electrical phenomena or an unu sual character ; wlnle with us it was preceded by freaks or electricity, variously described as vivid Hashes or lightning, and as tiio descent or a blinding meteoric ball from tho heavens. Tho interval between the two shocks, the first of which occurred nt about quarter past four, was one or a painful suspense to such as had aroused themselves to a full consciousness of the naturaor the danger, and who adverted to the Tact that ordinarily, at least in tho earthquakes or the tropics, the violence of tho convulsions succeeding tho first, of which thoro aro commonly two, was that of a progress nearly equalling geometrical ratio.

The rattling of windows ; the displacement or furniture ; tho gleaming of lights from bed rooms which suddenly illuminated the pitch darnncss which prevailed ; the wild terror ol somo, and tho bewilderment or others whom tho threatening phenomenon had started from their dreams, formed a sccno mora easily im-ar cd than described. The second shock took place about fivo minutes after the first, lur was of brief duration nud inferior violence. TI1K NEW MAPI! IP SHARKS.

On that lamentable, occasion, the disaster was heralded by the usual ominous rumbling which shortly swelled into the roar as ir of a thousand artillery ; vast chasms stretched wide theirdestructivejaws ; columns of sind, water and coal, lose from their depths ; clouds or steam rising from the fissures obscured the sky ; high hills sunk instantly into indistinguishable plains; douse forests wero submerged, leaving no trace or their locality ; tho beds or extensive lakes were lifted np and became elevated ground ; the dry land sunk for miles around to receive the waters thus expelled from their ancient resting place; giving reception in one instance to tho wators ol a lake from sixty to seventy miles in length ; seres oral u vian slid away from the borders of the Mississippi, interposing an impassable barrier to its stream, and rolling back its tali. v.
